According to the website URL directly below in the Windows 'add/remove' programs box an entry called 'search and destroy' is malware and should be removed. More specifically it says this:
Search and Destroy:<===This is a rogue. Do not confuse this with Spybot Search & Destroy which is valid!!!

I am trying to remove the 'search and destroy' and leave Spybot Search and Destroy.
Unfortunately windows will not remove the program, when I try it says something like 'unable to remove because file is in use'.
I've tried rebooting, shutting down Spybot and then trying the deletion of Search and Destroy (not Spybot), but am unable to remove the rogue program.
The rogue shows no mal effects on my system and is apparently not doing anything ill at this time.
Also: what I think is a rogue could be an earlier version of Spybot meaning I have two legitimate versions installed. The Spybot Search and Destroy Help does not show a version number so I cannot determine which version I have installed?
